Rare, 1.2" Fossil Encrinurus Trilobite - Malvern, England
This is a rare British trilobite offering from Malvern, England. It's a 1.2" long (if oustretched) Silurian-aged, Encrinurus tuberculata. These trilobites are found in hard limestone nodules and are very tough and time consuming to prepare. This specimen isn't perfect, but you rarely see one of these specimens come up for sale.
About Trilobites
Trilobites were a very diverse group of extinct marine arthropods. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Cambrian (521 million years ago) and went extinct during the Permian mass extinction (250 million years ago). They were one of the most successful of the early animals on our planet: over 25,000 species have been described, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to their hard exoskeletons (shells), they left an excellent fossil record.
